    So eveeyone is aware there's basically a toilet bowl scenario that can suck you under and into a tube under the road? And nobody has fixed it? Like tank top guy suggests. Drop a few big rocks down there to disrupt the cyclone vortex?

      It would work. He’s right. Disrupt the flow. Very simple concept. Show the hole at low tide and you’ll see this is like getting hit by lightning. It’s been there for 100 years.

      @@thereissomecoolstuff If it's been there for one hundred years, then it's claimed a lot of lives and it would have claimed even more if that water was more appealing to swim in than it is. And "lightning" isn't the correct analogy, because lightning isn't controllable and isn't created by man.
